Canadian Boating Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Inflatable PFDs are not approved for which of the following?

Persons under 16

Inflatable PFDs are not approved for persons under 16 because they require a certain level of physical and cognitive ability to properly operate. Furthermore, inflatables may not be able to provide support for the head and neck area of younger children, who may be more susceptible to water-related accidents. Commercial fishing operations should also refrain from using inflatable PFDs as they face higher risks and may require heavy-duty PFDs. Likewise, inflatables are not suitable for use in rough waters and strong currents, making them unsuitable for calm water kayaking. While they are suitable for adults over 80 lbs, they may not be the best option for those who are unable to perform self-rescue or require supervision.
